Free Software

Open Source Software

Open Source software give users the right to study the source code, make changes to improve the software, and distribute a copy.

Conclusion

The “Free and Open Source Software” protect your freedom and provide a software source code so anyone can see if there is any security issues etc.

Unfortunately no other software companies like Apple and Microsoft does that, in fact they encrypt their software source code that no one can see what’s inside, and they install their own spyware and malicious software to spy on users.

However only the Open Source Software is not enough to protect our privacy, like some open source software doesn’t respect users freedom, including most of the popular Linux operating systems like Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Fedora comes with some per-installed non-free firmware’s. So only the Free Software respect its users freedom.
